Renegade+ 128k (2013) Walkthrough + Review, ZX Spectrum

Huge playlist archive with AY / GFX improved games: INTRODUCTION (From the manual): The Streets aren’t safe! . . . Night falls swiftly as you make your way through the most sinister part of town to collect your girl. So far so good . . . your train pulls into the subway station, alighting you realise you are not alone! The station, and the streets above are infested with thugs and villains . . . time is short so you must negotiate these areas to meet your girl as arranged. Quick thinking and martial art skills are the only abilities you have to depend upon and you disembark knowing that this is going to be the most dangerous walk of your life! There are five stages to negotiate, first the tube station, where you will meet a gang of muggers intent on terminating your journey right there. The next stage takes you through the pier area, known to be a popular meeting place for motorcycle gangs. The third area is the sleezy back streets of town; female gangs stalk the streets in search of any unwitting male who may try and infringe their territory. Next, is the street leading up to your meeting place; a vicious gang of razor-wielding thugs have been known to taunt any innocent passer by just for kicks. Finally you enter your arranged meeting place, but beware—the last gang you have subdued had called reinforcements who will be lying in wait, together with their leader— armed with a gun! Prove that love can overcome all by conquering these villains in time for your date! REVIEW: Gone is the original five levels, and instead we have five brand new ones! The concept is the same as in the original game, and so is the enemies, but some of the stages has got more or other enemies, and the enemy AI has been raised, and it is harder to knockout the bad guys! New enemies that looks like Rene has been added, and some of the standard enemies will now always duck when you try to hit them with flying kicks. The game is based on the 128k version which means that you have the extra move so you can throw with the enemies. You could not do this in the 48k version. Your route starts at the construction yard, goes past the bikers place, into a discotheque and ends up with a hard fight outside and inside a restaurant, before you can finally meet with your girl. Gameplay and controls are super and this is one of the best beat’em ups for the ZX Spectrum with new levels, better enemy AI, and much more challenging gameplay. A blast from the past!
